A/N: For people tuning in that read my other Legend of Korra stories: The New Girl, The Next Step, When Expecting, and Four Years Later, those will be on hold till this is done. I'm sorry if you're mad at me and I hope you enjoy this series if you are happy I'm doing this challenge.

Day 1: Winter

Snow in Republic City was completely different from snow at the South Pole. When it fell, it floated down instead of plummeting to the ground and it was soft and fluffy on the ground instead of rough and sleek.

As much as Korra loved her home, she liked to spend the winter time in Republic City to enjoy the gentler version of the familiar weather. She leaned out the open window and looked up to the starry night sky. The icy breeze blew in her face and snow rested in her hair. A bright smile stretched across her face as she giggled.

"Geez Korra, there's no reason to have a fire going if you have the window wide open." A familiar harsh tone sternly said before the apartment door was closed.

Korra turned and walked away from the still open window with a little bounce in her step. "Dinner!"

She took the bags out of Mako's hands and took them to the kitchen.

Mako rolled his eyes and went to close the open window. "What am I going to do with her?" Mako lightly mumbled as he walked back to the kitchen after closing the window.

Korra already opened the takeout food and began eating. "Korra, for once will you wait for me to join you?"

"But I'm hungry." Korra gave her boyfriend her usual pout to help soften his anger.

Mako signed and rubbed the back of his neck as he walked to the fireplace. He punched out a fire ball and then small, diminishing fire grew into a blaze. Mako crouched down and held his hands close to the flame.

"Wimp." Korra said as she walked in the living room with her food in hand and sat with her back to the fire. "You wouldn't be able to last one day of winter in the South Pole."

"Says the girl who's closest to the fire." Mako narrowed his eyes at her and went back to warming himself up. He glanced over to Korra after a while of silence. "Your hair is wet."

Korra looked at him with strings of noodles hanging out of her mouth – it took all his strength to not laugh at how adorable she looked like that. Korra ran her hand across her hair and she swallowing her food. "I guess the snow melted."

A few moments of silence rested in the small apartment. The couple didn't mind it, they actually liked the silence, and to them it meant they were comfortable with each other. "Mako, do you think after dinner we could go for a walk?"

"A walk?" Mako rose an eyebrow at the girl. "In that weather?"

"Please Mako, you know I love winter in Republic City just because I can walk outside while the snows falling. Just this once, please." Korra had big blue, begging eyes staring straight at Mako – her way of getting what she wants.

Mako sighed. "Fine, but can I eat my dinner first?"

Korra excitingly nodded her head with big grin on her face.

"Isn't this awesome?!" Korra was overflowing with joy as she walked through the park in the snow. Every now and then she would stick her tongue out to catch snowflakes and laugh every time she caught one. Mako walked behind her with his hands deep in his pockets as he watched her excitement being clearly exposed on her shoulders.

Mako walked up to Korra and wrapped his hand around her waist. "You really like winter, don't you?"

Korra looked up at him with a soft smile on her face. "It's kind of a given for me, since I was born and raised in the South Pole and naturally born a Waterbender. Kind of like how you're a Firebender and most Firebender I know like summer." Korra leaned into Mako and hugged him as they continued to walk down the little snow covered path.

"I don't like summer." Even though Korra was right about him liking the warmer weathers, she was wrong on the season.

"Why not?" Korra looked up in confusion. She was so used to benders have the same likes and dislikes, so Mako little confession took her back.

"Summer is just summer, there's nothing special about it to me. I don't know if it's because of how I was raised or something else, but I like spring more. My mother told me that spring brings new life, new beginnings, and takes away all your negativity from the previous months. Also, every spring after Bo was born my family and I would go to this open field covered with wild flowers and have a picnic." Mako wished he could say more about the season, but couldn't put the rest into words.

"So you like spring because of the memories it left you with your family?" Korra loved learning new things about her boyfriend – it was just as exciting as if she was learning a bending stance.

"I guess, I don't really know." Mako seemed to be deep in thought about what to say. "But, that doesn't mean I don't like the other seasons. I mean with summer, yeah I'm not big fan about it, but it does give me the since of freedom and happiness when it comes along. And then with fall, I don't like how it starts to get cold, but I do like the changing colors of the leaves."

"What about winter?" Korra wanted to know Mako's views on her favorite season most of all. She knew he hated the temperature and the ice that would sometime form on the ground, due to the many bruises she had to heal now and then.

Mako stopped and looked up and the night sky. Korra rested her chin on his chest as she patiently waited for his answer – something that she certainly didn't like. "I like the snow fall, but just watching it not so much with being in it."

"Anything else," Korra hummed after he finished. She wanted to know more, even the littlest detail.

"I like how our first kiss was in the winter." Mako smiled down to Korra, whose eyes were wide open.

Korra walked away from Mako and crossed her arms. "Shut up, I still feel bad about that. Why won't you and Bolin let me forget about it?"

"Maybe because Bolin likes to tease you, and I don't want to forget my first kiss with you." Mako leaned over to Korra gave a light peck on the cheek.

Korra's face softened as she looked up at Mako.

"You want to know my favorite part about winter?" Korra turned and started to rub her fingers in between the fabric of Mako's scarf.

"What is it?" Mako said with a smirk as he looked down at her.

"That I get to go these walks with you and have you to keep me warm at night." Korra bit her lip as she smiled up and Mako. He then leaned down and shared a soft, tender kiss with woman he loved.

Feedback is greatly loved.
